I tested this with my mother, telling her about this in person and talking about dog toys. My mother does not have a dog - but by the end of our 2 hour talk about how much she wanted to get her dog a dog toy she was getting advertisements for dog toys and dog food on Facebook.

She has an iPhone.

iPhone or Android does not matter. You need to disable microphone access to Instagram, Facebook and Facebook Messenger if you wish them to not listen to you.

Actually if you are on Android I'm pretty sure there is no way to disable google listening to you 24/7.

What is your source for google listening to your microphone all the time on Android?
"Ok Google"
